i am just wondering how are these 10 years old cars are starting for us the rx7 lover. my car is not starting at all now, but before that it start after 5 second of cranking. a little too long comparing to other car that i have driven.

POS7

I think its normal for these cars to take longer to crank. 5 seconds is a bit long though. If your connections from the neg & pos power cables to your battery are corroded or whatever, maybe you should change them. I recently changed mine to gold-plated "sound-system" connections. My car cranks much faster now, it cranks fast even on a "hot start". before it used to crank 4x chug-chug-chug-chug-start. now it cranks maybe 2x chug-chug-start.

Of course your problem may be alternator, starter, wires, battery (old or shitty).

Mine (~49K miles) starts on the 1st or 2nd engine revolution, warm or cold.

Mine always starts crisply with a stock ecu, it takes several cranks to start with a PFC.

mine starts every time at about 2 to 3 revolutions

There's nothing nicer then waking up to a nice, quiet, peaceful San Diego morning.
Then fire up the old 7 and wake up the whole neighborhood and set off all the car alarms... doh! Mine starts right up on first click with a little gas.

2nd revolution every time, without fail

Mine has never, ever had trouble starting except when a coolant seal was leaking. Heck, even after I blew an apex seal it would still start right up

It starts fine, but sometimes Ill get that "clicking" sound which I believe is the actual ignition itself. I am going to do the s2000 push button start and hope that it fixes it.

turn key ON...hear lots of beeps/clicks/fuel pump priming...CEL lights up, holds couple seconds then shuts off...relay click, fuel pump stops priming...press engine start button, (have no idea how many times the engine rotates, not excessive) fires up...idles at 1300rpm until coolant is above 150F, idle drops to 940rpms.

when hot, same thing, push button, fires up (no excessive turning), shoots to 1100rpms and quickly settles to 940rpms.
